Marlin lefty cases were made with inchworm adapters, and they had issues, so Marlin stopped using them. Selling rights to inchworm was sold to Low Range Offroad, but inchworm was still doing their own machining. But Im not sure what has happened to Inchworm since Low Range sold to Trail Gear.
Is Marlin planning to make their own adapters in the future, or are leftys pretty much dead?
No plans to make a lefty gear drive case. The left hand output chain drive cases are pretty strong, and for gearing reduction on those you can use a TacoBox.
Not to bring up an older thread but some of our platforms have limited space which requires some fun times with gas tanks. It kind of sucks but guess that’s the name of the game with dual cases Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Unfortunately with the original lefty case there was issues and there has not been a solution for those issues yet, so it doesnt make sense to make a product that isnt right.
I'm sorry I misspoke about it not having a solution. the main problem with them was output shafts breaking, because the modern vehicles (especially 4runners and FJ cruisers) are heavier than older vehicles, so it the factory gear drive output shafts weren't cutting it and the Bobby long output shafts of the time were stronger but did not pump oil so they would burn up. Marlin Crawler 30 spline shafts solved both of those problems. After speaking with the "head honchos" , there is a possibility of the lefty case coming back. Ask and you shall receive. but no for sure answer or timeline.
Good to know! I'm building up my Lefty right now, with Marlin 4.7 in it (behind a stock-geared crawl box) - what else do I need to be aware of, strength-wise?
so just to clarify; these starvation issues aren't attributed to clocking, per se?
there is a possibility of the lefty case coming back.
